If anybody on here ought to know there's more to wrong or right than a show of hands, I would have thought it was you.

General Julius Ewell committed war crimes. Soldiers under his command did as well. Nick Turse, and others, plus Pentagon documents themselves, establish this. If you deny these facts in favor of your own experience, what is there to say to that? It speaks for itself.

To believe that the United States military is not immune to bad actors does not mean one has contempt for all its commanders. To believe the decision to invade Iraq was a mistake does not mean one holds the country in contempt.
I am surprised you feel this way.

I don't know that he committed war crimes and neither do you. Sometimes we hang a sentence on somebody for political reasons and so on. But let's say he is guilty as you say. We're still talking about one guy out of thousands.
